But the rehursal and dinner were great. Claire was a trooper and made it through with no major meltdowns. She even got her first kiss. True story. Little boy, about two-years old, came up to Claire and kissed her on the mouth. His parents were embarressed. Luke got his first taste of daddy rage. Overall, a good time by all.
The bridal luncheon was Saturday morning at the Swan Coach House in the Atlanta History Center. Jackie wanted a hat theme, and so it was. I wish I'd gotten a picture of the awesome garden hat cake Grace got and the great garden hat earings that mom had made as favors, but I didn't :(
It was beautiful, Southern and delicious, as were the bridesmaids...
Even Julia with her cute little belly. And while she didn't feel like it was little anymore, I told her to just wait for the immense growth in those last few weeks. I give you Exhibit A.
And here is me, mom, Grace and Auntie Em...
After the luncheon, my dad agreed to keep Claire while Luke and I attempted to celebrate our birthday. We went over to the AMC Fork & Spoon, and if you've never experienced a movie/ restaurant, I highly reccomend it. Not for those on a budget, but hey, it was our birthday. We saw Iron Man 2 (I also highly reccomend it) and had a pitcher of beer with queso dip and a burger.
And can I just say that I'm really glad that Luke drug me out of the hotel room. If it were up to me, I just wanted to chill, maybe nap, while I had someone else volunteering to care for my child. But he wanted to go the movies and I figured I shouldn't let him spend his birthday alone, or mine for that matter. And when we got back, it was straight to hair and makeup and before I knew it the shuttle wad there to bring us to the wedding. So I didn't get a nap, and now I wouldn't have had it any other way.
More to come!
